Comment on Notice to stakeholders: withdrawal of the UK and EU rules on .eu domain names

Comments

So lots of business for EU registrars offering proxy/“private registration” services. Good job EC! /s

Proxies are not allowed under the rules. You might fly under the radar, but if the Registry sees that your website company info doesn't match the registration info, you're liable to lose the domain.

Was there any cases where .EU domain registrations were lost because a proxy was used?

Yes, lensworks.eu. That was before the sunrise period, though.

Nope.

If that would be enough they would already offer it like they do for many other TLDs. You need more than a "contact" (i.e., address) inside the EU to register a .eu domain.

It's been happening for years though https://wiki.hexonet.net/wiki/EU#Trustee_Service

What do you mean "more than an address"?

Usually and EU national ID card number or an EU tax number.
